Jersey City FD

[NY1PD]

I was wondering if the channels for fireground 2 and 3 will be moving from analog to digital

 

[RadioChief55]

I know they are or will be building out a new TRS in JC, IDK if they will be keeping the FG 2 and 3 as analog, switching it to P25 or going fully to the new TRS. But I am hearing that they will be removing the E on the new system FD TGs. As long as the same people stay in charge at least.

Interesting developments. Having E on the FD channels never made any sense, unless those in power were tired of fire buffs showing up at scenes.

When they went E, they had a COD who was a verdictive dick head and a radio vendor that loved pushing E. Well they are both gone now and things will be changing. One DC left wants everything E, he is the last of the evil empire of the JCFD. The new COD is a good guy and likes buffs.

I'm getting mixed info. I was told they are staying on UHF and upgrading the equipment and will be phase 2 from JC people.
But someone from the State said it will be 7/800 because they are using grant money. So I can't confirm yet.

If 700/800, the NJICS?

No, it will be their own.

What happened to the vendor? They are leaving motorola? Harris underbid them?

Anyone have insight on what caused this mornings earlier outage? Both PD and FD comms were down from about 0745 til shortly before 0900 hours todays date. Just checked on my end, both sound back to fully operational as of this time.

I stand corrected, JFCD channel 1 is now reported to be down again, (0912 hours)

 

[kc2asb]

That is a long time to be down. Was the PD using the UHF analog back-up channels during the outage?

I don't know about their UHF, but they had units reporting to their respective district to be dispatched to assignments right from there. FD was being dispatched via text from what I got from someone inside. FD channel 1 now back up as of 0918 hours.

Thanks. FYI below from the RR database. I'm going to program these back in just in case they are used in the future. Haven't thought about JCPD analog in a long time. LOL
